random belated interjection, but given who he used to pal around with at Valencia (Raul Albiol, Alexis Ruano) I'd say Silva's always had a type. and that type was doofus goofballs. XD

this is definitely true, I was more thinking about the fact that Adam, Joe etc have all gotten into a bit of trouble (mostly with Mancini, (though not exclusively) because of this (well mostly because of drinking) and Silva might like fun but is still really really serious about football and so avoids trouble like that (and is, you know, basically his manager's pet player) but yeah, Silva certainly does seem to have a soft spot for goofballs

It's so funny that he is a model professional at City, because in his last couple of seasons with Valencia there were a lot of rumors around that he spent a lot of time in the bars with Alexis and a few of the other party guys, sometimes staying out really late before training. I don't know if the rumors are true because the media in Valencia was pretty protective of their players.

oh really? interesting.

I'll confess that I only really paid attention to him as a player (in the sense that I admired him as a player but didn't really pay any attention to his personal life etc) until he came to City.

And they (meaning the british press and the club to a certain extent) really do try to emphasize that he's a model professional, I remember reading an article towards the beginning of last season (I wish I had bookmarked it!) about City's youth set up where the guy in charge basically said something to the effect that he told them to be like Silva in their approach because he was so professional, didn't go out and party/drink/etc (the strong implication in the article being - be like Silva not like Joe/Adam/etc - the article was written around the time they all went to Scotland and got really trashed with a bunch of students - and got caught on video).

I didn't really know about it but I am part of an online Valencia group and when his sale came around some of them weren't that sad to see him go. Some were based in Valencia and they had seen him out in bars til 4 or 5 am supposedly. IF it was true, whenever I watched Valencia I didn't think it had any effect on his playing, but to each their own I guess. And I thought that whole thing was weird to me. Wasn't it during a break or some sort. Like they had a couple of days before they had to report to England training? I can't remember for sure.

huh, wow, it's certainly not something I'd ever heard before (though, like I said, I wasn't really paying attention!). And I never would have guessed watching him play, though, admittedly, I only ever watched him play every once and a while when he played for Valencia.

I do think the thing with Joe/Adam/Barry (and maybe Shay Given?) last year was on a break and I believe it became a big deal because a) they got caught on video and b) Mancini made a really big deal about it - I'd have to look back at the articles from that time to be sure though

I...don't know how I feel about these pictures...makes me feel a bit voyeuristic etc. BUT, moral qualms aside, my image of deadly serious super professional Silva is utterly, utterly destroyed.

I am SO INTRIGUED about all these veiled references to fancy dress designers visiting Carrington. I suspect someone will be going as Super Mario. I just...I can't...

looking at those pictures made me want to squirm a bit (like where did they come from? how did they make it onto the wider internet?)

I don't think it should be destroyed. I really do think Silva takes football very, very seriously. But, um, it's possible he also takes fun very, very seriously. (and also, apparently wrestling--wrestling while drunk....).

I know, what is up with the costumes? Inquiring minds want to know...

[ladytelemachus.livejournal.com]

I know. Really, really uncomfortable... I think there may be some seriously in-depth Facebook stalking involved, which just makes me embarrassed for fandom in general. And then I feel like a hypocrite, because obviously I looked at them...

Based on the Fashion Kicks no-show, I will be very surprised if Silva gets dressed up too outlandishly (unless someone plies him with tequila or something...look on it as a public service, Joe Hart...)... city TV are teasing us most cruelly lately!

[justkisa.livejournal.com]

yeah, uncomfortable and vaguely embarrassed but I cannot look away (fandom, oh, fandom, what have you done to me, God...)

unless someone plies him with tequila or something...look on it as a public service, Joe Hart...)

that is pretty much the only way I imagine Silva getting dressed up in something crazy. someone should send Joe Hart tequila, or, um, something like that, ahem....

[meretricula.livejournal.com]

...what. the fuck. are these pictures.

HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO CAN.

I KNOW. I am feeling a weird cocktail of embarrassment, shame, arousal, and hysteria. Mainly CRINGE though. Dear God. Sometimes I wish the internet had never been invented.

I'm guessing it's for the Christmas party. Didn't they do fancy dress for last years? (I can't tell you how long it took to realize fancy dress meant costumes.) I remember the players in bright clothes with big dots. I can't remember what the theme was.
